Last Monday I flew to Bali. Two days before, I went to my office in Yogyakarta
and bought my ticket. Then, very early on Monday morning, I went to the office again
wih my luggage and got into the bus with the other passangers.
The bus took us to the airport. There, people took our luggage and put in the air
plane and then, after about twenty minutes, we got in too. I was little afraid at first
because it was my first flight. Then, a kind lady, she was the stewardess, brought some
sweets and spoke to me, and soon I was quite happy again.

given by grandparents as a present is really fun. Des, the pilot and Colin, the road crew
were very professional but extremely friendly and welcoming.

unique perspective as they look at me to the skies in one of their colorful hot air ballons.
I felt exciting and enthusiastic, as I drifted gently across the UK's stunning landscapes at
anything up to 5.000 feet. Raised smoothly and silently towards the clouds, the only noise
the occasional burst of the burners. I was travel where the wind took me. It was a
